The HCM 110 is a dual spindle milling machine for ball cage milling. The machine is designed for both soft and hard milling. Owing to its high precision, this milling machine from EMAG can entirely replace the grinding process for ball cages.
Flexible manufacturing concept for all cage types
Due to old legacy machinery, many ball bearing cages for CV joints are still manufactured today using a grinding process. However, a worldwide trend can be observed which is gradually replacing the grinding process with other more efficient technologies to save ancillary production costs.
In the conventional grinding process, there are sometimes as many spindles as required by the number of windows in the ball bearing cage. This does not allow for flexible retooling from six to eight windows, for example.
With its HCM 110 dual spindle milling machine, EMAG is now offering a flexible manufacturing concept for all cage types that allows for significant cuts to running costs, when compared to manufacturing with grinding processes.
Hard and soft milling with the same machine configuration
The HCM 110 milling machine is a dual spindle machine that is specially tailored for the needs of ball bearing cages. The machine produces a high output using the pendulum or DUO principle. Ball bearing cages can be hard or soft milled as required. The process can also be performed dry, with coolant, or with minimal quantity lubrication.
Spindle orientation : horizontal
Other characteristics : high-precision, high-speed
